وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام رَجُلًا حَيِيًّا ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ لَا يُرَى مُتَجَرِّدًا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ : إِنَّهُ آدَرُ ، قَالَ : فَاغْتَسَلَ عِنْدَ مُوَيْهٍ ، فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبهُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ ، فَانْطَلَقَ الْحَجَرُ يَسْعَى ، وَاتَّبَعَهُ بِعَصَاهُ يَضْرِبُهُ ، ثَوْبِي حَجَرُ ، ثَوْبِي حَجَرُ ، حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى مَلَإٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، وَنَزَلَت : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا وَكَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهًا سورة الأحزاب آية 69 " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Moses (ؑ) was a modest person. He was never seen naked and Banu Isra'il said: (He was afraid to expose his private part) because he had been suffering from scrotal hernia. He (one day) took bath in water and placed his garments upon a stone. The stone began to move on quickly. He followed that and struck it with the help of a stone (saying): O stone, my garment; O stone, my garments, O stone; until it stopped near the big gathering of Israi'l, and this verse was revealed (pertaining to the incident): "O you who believe, be not like those who maligned Moses (ؑ), but Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was worthy of regard with Allah" (xxxiii. 69).
